Originally this used the Meridian Ada compiler. Note the dependence
on the RC and CVTRES tools from MS SDK. The historical reference for
this tool is "Automated Interface Code from Ada Specifications", Ada

<< Mars Pathfinder Mission Status
July 17, 1997
11 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time
Mars Pathfinder engineers noted that they have found and are
in the process of fixing a software bug that had caused
the lander's computer to reset itself four times in
recent days.
"The resets on the lander computer were caused by a
software task that was unable to complete the task in
the allotted time," said Flight Director Brian Muirhead.
"We found that the task was being cut short because it
had not been given high enough priority to run through
to completion. Basically, we just need to add one
instruction to the computer software to raise the
priority of that task."
The problem was reproduced and isolated in testing
at JPL. Further tests and verification will be completed
today and tomorrow, with radio transmission of a software
"patch" to change the lander's software scheduled for
Saturday, Muirhead said. >>
